As the British & Irish Lions and even Japan kick into gear, Hong Kong are whipping out the zinc cream and hitting the beach
Good form in the Asia Rugby Championship is cause for excitement for fans, but Saturday’s game against South Korea is it for Leigh Jones’ side until after summer
While Hong Kong are doing a number on South Korea at Hong Kong Football Club on Saturday afternoon, the British & Irish Lions will be opening their tour of New Zealand against the Provincial Barbarians.
If you’re not in the loop, the rugby world is going bonkers at the prospect of the Lions taking on the world’s best in the All Blacks.
It’s one of those rare sporting events that captivates entire nations and leaves hardened rugby men at risk of relieving themselves involuntarily due to excitement.
While it’s hard to see the Asia Rugby Championship (ARC) clash between Hong Kong and South Korea having the same effect, there is cause to be keen here as well.
Leigh Jones’ troops put on a top show in the outpost of Yesan on the weekend and one would expect them to have their way with the Koreans again. The alternative doesn’t bare thinking about after all the talk of progress.
